And it could end up creating more millionaire investors than legal pot.

According to the Brightfield Group, this plant will eclipse marijuana in sales. And since federal laws are changing, this industry is poised to explode from $591 million to $22 billion.

When Canada de-regulated this same plant, investors had massive money-making potential. Lucky investors were able to cash in on some of the best stocks popping off 1,591%… 2,345%… and even 3,011%. According to the Brightfield Group, since the U.S. market is much bigger, we’re looking at the unleashing of a wealth wave that’ll grow this market 4,000%.

That’s why billionaire investors are piling into this space. Even the best performing hedge funds are loading up. You should too.

Why will products made from this plant be in almost every home in America? And why could it make you a millionaire? Our chief analyst Nick Giambruno answers these questions in our most exciting briefing yet.

After the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed dropped interest rates to historic lows near 0%. And two years ago, it started normalizing them. The goal now is to raise rates to “neutral.” That’s the level where rates neither help nor harm the economy.

Nobody knows exactly what the neutral rate of interest is. But we do know this…

Each time the Fed hiked rates in 2018, the market reacted negatively:

The Fed usually pauses planned rate hikes when the markets tumble. According to Bloomberg, the December 19 rate hike was the first during a brutal market (like we’re experiencing now) since 1994.

That’s why President Trump sent this tweet two days before the December rate hike…

The president knows that the market doesn’t like rising rates. And as the market goes, so do his reelection chances. So he has cause to be upset.

Despite the four hikes in 2018 and the threat of two more in 2019, interest rates remain at historic lows.

And the “real” interest rate looks to be heading below zero—which is good for gold.

Let me explain…

The real interest rate is the 10-year Treasury yield minus the core U.S. inflation rate. The current 10-year yield is 2.7%, and inflation is running around 2.1%. So the real rate is 0.6%.

As I mentioned above, I don’t expect the Fed to hike rates in 2019. If rates stay steady and inflation continues to rise (as we’ve talked about before), that means the real rate will likely go negative.

The last time the real interest rate fell below 0% was in 2016. And as you can see in the chart below, gold surged 21% over the next 11 months while rates were negative…

Now, interest rates really took off in mid-2018, and real rates spiked. But then interest rates tumbled along with the market in October and November, bringing real rates down with them.

By pausing interest rate hikes, the Fed is allowing real rates to get closer and closer to going negative. And as they become negative, gold will catch a bid.

Gold has been in a slump since it reached an all-time high of nearly $1,900 per ounce in September 2011. Today, it’s trading near $1,250.

But if the market remains jittery and real rates continue trending downward, we could see gold shoot up again.

You can prepare for a gold rally by buying physical gold or the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), which is a physically backed gold exchange-traded fund (ETF). And if you want to add a little juice to the bet, consider buying gold miners…

A one-click way to add exposure to your portfolio is through the Sprott Gold Miners ETF (SGDM). It holds a basket of gold mining and royalty companies. I think it’s the ETF with the best mix of large gold companies.
